Hi, suicide is one of the symptoms of psychotic depression. This condition is characterized by depression, hallucinations as well as delusions. This means that people with
psychotic depression may see or hear things that aren't there or have some fears that are not normal. But, unlike the people who suffer from other
mental illness with the same symptoms, a person with
psychotic depression is aware that the things he or she is experiencing are not true. This knowledge is very frustrating for them. It is believed that
psychotic depression is somehow associated with high level of hormone cortisol. Why does the level of this hormone elevate is not known. However, it seams that
psychotic depression is much more present at people who have family history of this illness. The treatment is carried out in a hospital. The
hospitalization is usually longer, and after getting out of the hospital, the person that suffered from
psychotic depression will have to have regular check ups.
